Papyrology in the Greco-Roman World
Discarded, Discovered, Collected
Discarded, Discovered, Collected provides an accessible introduction to the University of Michigan's collection of papyri and related ancient materials, the widest and deepest resource of its kind in the Western hemisphere. The collection was founded in the early part of the 20th century by University of Michigan Professor of Classics Francis W. Kelsey. His original intention was to create a set of artifacts that would be useful in teaching stude…
Rosetta Stone
The Rosetta Stone is a dark granite stone that bears an inscription in three languages: hieroglyphic, Demotic, and Greek. The text dates to March 27, 196 BCE , and contains a decree issued by Egyptian priests, assembled in Memphis from all over the country, on the occasion of the coronation of Ptolemy V Epiphanes the previous day.
Administration, Ptolemaic Egypt
The administration of Ptolemaic Egypt was an amalgam of Egyptian, Saite, Persian, and Greek administrative practices.
Crocodile
Of all crocodilians, the Nile crocodile ( Crocodylus niloticus ) was most prominent in the ancient world. Just as in many parts of Africa today, the Nile crocodile was a terrifying presence along the borders of the River Nile. With its rather impressive appetite for larger prey, crocodiles could not do otherwise than impress the humans who came into contact with this ferocious hunter.
Raphia, battle of
The battle of Raphia, a city near Gaza, took place in June 217 BCE between the armies of Ptolemy IV Philopator and Antiochos III. The battle was the culmination of the Fourth Syrian War, which started when Antiochos invaded Syria in 219.
Revenue Laws
“Revenue Laws” are traditionally understood to refer to a number of official decrees contained in two mid‐third‐century BCE papyrus rolls, first published in 1896 ( P.Rev .). These decrees, together with the contemporaneous Zenon Archive, are the most important sources about matters of taxation, including royal monopolies and tax farming, in Ptolemaic Egypt.
